The Winter snow was such a treat this week in the yard! Kids took turns playing with shovels, big and small, to scoop and move snow. Everyone could see how long their turn was by using a 5-minute sand timer; once all the sand reached the bottom, it was time to give the shovel to a different friend. Snow turns out to be an excellent ingredient for making pizza, as kids loved mixing it into pots and finding pieces of ice that looked just like slices of pizza.
After taking off jackets and snow pants, we all warmed up together in a circle on the rug and sang songs. We learned a new song called “Who Is Sitting Next To You?”, which challenges us to go around the circle naming the friends beside us.
This week, we also enjoyed snack while sitting together at tables and reading Ezra Jack Keats classic story, “The Snowy Day”. Kids knew how to find their spot at the table by checking which chair had their water bottle in front of it.
